a school of fish

Can you see them? 1, 2, 3, 4.
We went out to the dive center yesterday and Josh taught the boys to snorkel.



It was really hot. Like 120 degrees hot.


but as long as you stayed in the water it was comfortable.


These little fish didn’t leave the water at all for the two hours we were there. Partly because stepping on the sand was like fire on your feet.


Josh showed them how to put on the masks and breathe through the snorkel and they were ready to hunt for sea creatures in just a few minutes.

The coolest find? Calvin with the tiniest crab I have ever seen. It was walking all over his hand.

There weren’t a ton of things to see there — some sea urchins, tiny schooling fish, a few fish the size of my hand and a bazillion sea snails/hermit crabs, but it was a great location because it was shallow, no waves or current, and they could cover a large area without needing a grownup right next to them.

Meanwhile, I sat in a beach chair in the water and Josh and I took turns holding the baby and playing with the mask and snorkel.

It was a great day to be a fish.
